LGBTQ+ "Inclusive Books" e "opt-out policy": il 'rischio' della religious objection nei curricula scolastici. Note a Corte Suprema USA, Mahmoud v. Taylor, 606 U.S. (2025)

The paper analyzes a recent US Supreme Court’s ruling in Mahmoud v. Taylor case, in which the Court granted a preliminary injunction to parents challenging the introduction of "LGBTQ+-inclusive" storybooks into the elementary school curriculum without opt-out provisions. The Court found that, even in the absence of direct coercion, such exposure could constitute a "very real threat" to parents’ ability to direct the religious and moral education of their children. This decision highlights the tension between parental rights under the Free Exercise Clause and the promotion of inclusive curricula in public schools, raising questions about the limits of religious exemptions and the scope of constitutional protections for parental control over education.
